This...is probably one of the most violent comics I've read in a while. I mean just...plain brutal at moments. Which works very well with the rage fueled Red Lanterns. This book follows up the foreshadowing elements from the Sinestro Wars and adds to it with little peeks and hints of the Corps not shown, and of course, does so marvelously [...can I say that when reviewing a D.C. title?]. The Red Lanterns debut in the most violent way they can muster, as the Blue Lanterns do so at the moment where hope is most needed. If you've been following the Green Lantern books for a while; totally pick this up. It's Geoff Johns at his continuing finest. If you're not...well, you'll be lost, but if you like brutal, violent space fights involving napalm blood spewing cats, this is for you. Trust me, you won't regret it.

The next chapter in Geoff Johns' epic Green Lantern story hits the nail on the head and ramps the action, violence, and intrigue up to the next level. Death, betrayal, fights, sub-plots, new charcaters, and more are just a part of what makes this book great. The art by Shane Davis, Mike McKone, and Ivan Reis is fantastic. Great stuff.

Rage of the Red Lanterns finds Geoff Johns'prolific run on Green Lantern coming to a head. In the aftermath of the Sinestro Corps War, Hal Jordan prepares himself for the coming onslaught as we learn more of these new, different colored Lanters that take up the spectrum, and ends up dealing with the evil alien entity known as Atrocitus in the process. As Rage of the Red Lanterns continues, it becomes ever more apparent that the end may in fact be near for everyone involved. While it comes off as more of a stopgap on the road to Blackest Night more than anything else, Johns manages to keep things compelling, and the great artwork of Shane Davis and Doug Mahnke doesn't hurt matters either. All in all, Rage of the Red Lanterns is a worthwhile endeavor on the road to Blackest Night, as we should all start getting ready for the dead to rise.

This book starts up where the Sinestro Corps War leaves off: Sinestro is in custody, and the Green lanterns have been granted the ability to kill others with their rings. The Red Lantern Corps is formed, and force Hal Jordan to become a red lantern. However, he is saved by the Blue Lanterns before it is too late.
Agent Orange is hinted at, and so is Star Saphire and her corps, which each have their own books. I haven't read them yet, so i don't know how they tie in. However, they are all going to come together in "Darkest Night" when the Black Lantern emerges. Can't wait for that book.
Overall, this story is fantastic, but sometimes hard to follow. Read it twice to pick up on everything you missed, and I assure you it will be one of your favorite graphic novels of the Green Lantern.
